Lloyd's Cereal company packages cereal in 1 pound boxes (16 ounces). A sample of 49 boxes is selected at random from the production line every hour, and if the average weight is less than 15 ounces, the machine is adjusted to increase the amount of cereal dispensed. If the mean for 1 hour is 1 pound and the standard deviation is 0.2 pound, what is the probability that the amount dispensed per box will have to be increased

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0143 = 1.43% probability that the amount dispensed per box will have to be increased

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mean for 1 hour is 1 pound and the standard deviation is 0.2 pound

This means that [tex]\mu = 1, \sigma = 0.2[/tex]

Sample of 49:

This means that [tex]n = 49, s = \frac{0.2}{\sqrt{49}} = 0.0286[/tex]

What is the probability that the amount dispensed per box will have to be increased?

This is the probability of the sample mean being less than 15 pounds = 15/16 = 0.9375 ounces, which is the pvalue of Z when X = 0.9375.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.9375 - 1}{0.0286}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.19[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.19[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0143

0.0143 = 1.43% probability that the amount dispensed per box will have to be increased

A bookstore had 81 copies of a magazine, Yesterday the bookstore sold 7/9 of these copies. How many copies were sold yesterday?​

Answers

Answer: 63 copies were sold yesterday.

Step-by-step explanation: To find how many copies were sold yesterday, simply multiply 81 by 7 which is 567. Then, divide 567 by 9 which is 63.

I believe 63 copies were sold (like the person above said)

How I would have done it is found out what 1/9 was, by dividing 81 by 9 which is 9, then multiply 9 and 7 to get the amount of books sold which is 63

What is a sequence?

A sequence is a list of elements that have been ordered in a sequential manner, such that members come either before or after.

Consider the given figure, which shows groups of dots arranged in increasingly larger hexagons.

If the pattern continues, the next group of dots would have 61 dots.

The first difference will be

The difference between 7 and 1 is 6.

The difference between 19 and 7 is 12.

The difference between 37 and 19 is 18.

The difference between 61 and 37 is 24.

The second difference will be

The difference between 12 and 6 is 6.

The difference between 18 and 12 is 6.

The difference between 24 and 18 is 6.

Thus, the sequence is arithmetic, because the second differences are constant. Then the correct option is B.

Answer:

  (x +6)^2 +(y -10)^2 = 225

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form equation for a circle is ...

  (x -h)^2 + (y -k)^2 = r^2

where the center is (h, k) and the radius is r.

The center of a circle is the midpoint of any diameter. The midpoint between two points is the average of their coordinates.

  ((-15, -2) +(3, 22))/2 = (-15+3, -2+22)/2 = (-6, 10)

The radius can be found using the distance formula, or by simply putting one of the given points in the equation for the circle to see what the constant (r^2) needs to be.

  (x -(-6))^2 +(y -10)^2 = (-15-(-6))^2 +(-2-10)^2

  (x +6)^2 +(y -10)^2 = 81 +144 = 225

The equation of the circle is ...

  (x +6)^2 +(y -10)^2 = 225
